This lich needs more money

The gray mist is incompatible with the environment of singing birds and fragrant flowers.

It gives Amber Xiu a sense of vanity and evil, a very familiar feeling, just like Amber Xiu himself.

But what the mist condensed out of was a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

Long chestnut hair, tied in a long ponytail, wheat-colored skin, toned and slender legs, and a pair of bright big eyes... The originally fuzzy memory quickly became clear after seeing this face.

"Alina?" Amber Xiu said the name in confusion.

Alina showed a charming smile to Amberxiu and asked: "Long time no see, what should I call you, what name do you use now?"

Amberxiu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you keep calling me a shameless bastard? Alina, why are you here? What have you...become?"

Alina heard Amber Xiu's question and replied nonchalantly: "Do you care about this? I remember you said that women of all races are welcome."

Amberxiu was silent for a moment, then said with a smile: "That's right, that's what I am."

This was indeed what he said when he was bragging before, and then their adventure team encountered a hag the next day.

However, Alina should not have said it in such a teasing tone.

Because during this battle, one of her friends died under the curse of the hag, and even the body melted into blood.

This feeling of joy should come from Amber Xiu's feelings.

Because Alina’s friend was deliberately tricked to death by Amber Xiu.

A few days ago, Amber Xiu knew that this traitor would lead them into the hag's trap. It's just that Amberxiu didn't tell others about the result, but just let the woman reap the consequences at the critical moment. Everyone also mourned the loss of a comrade, and no one knew how vicious this woman really was.

Alina was kept in the dark and cried for this so-called "friend" for several days.

It's not that Amberxiu doesn't want to tell everyone the truth, but that apart from the divination results, Amberxiu doesn't have any evidence. Telling everyone in advance will not change the fate of falling into the hag's trap, but will make the traitor wary. As a prophecy mage, you should figure out what prophecies can be made and what prophecies can only be known by yourself.

Amberxiu chose to hide this from everyone and solve this problem alone.

The result was perfect, the traitor died, the hag died, everyone else was safe, and they made a lot of money.

To sum up, Alina would not laugh about the past in such a relaxed tone.

Amberxiu began to suspect that Alina was a fake.

The Alina he knew had been dead for hundreds of years. With her devotion to the Father of Oak, she should have ascended to the Kingdom of God long ago. Even if something happens later, a druid's soul cannot be preserved for hundreds of years.

This gray figure is not an undead spirit like a ghost, but more like an evil creature like a demon. He probably used special means to read Amber Xiu's memories and feelings, and then generated the image of such an "old friend".

If you want to verify it, it's very simple.

Amberxiu said to Alina: "Then you suddenly appeared in my dream, is it just to catch up with old friends?"

Alina walked towards Amberxiu, stretched out her hands to hug his neck, as if she wanted to give him a passionate kiss after a long separation, but then her eyes suddenly widened and her body collapsed into mist again.

The mist dissipated and re-condensed in the distance, but it did not turn into Alina again, she just stared at Amber Xiu with a pair of luminous eyes.

Amberxiu's palm was emitting a bright light, which was a ball of pure holy light, just like the one cast by Arthur Lane.

This is a dream. The dragons that Amber Xiu imagined can appear, and there is no problem with the holy light.

No matter what method this thing uses to enter your dream, since it has entered the dream and merged with these illusory things, it will be affected by the rules of the dream.

The damage done by the Holy Light to this dark force is not generally high, and it directly destroys the opponent's body.

The gray mist made a low voice: "You are so cruel, what if it is really your old lover?"

Amberxiu said: "Alina will not be harmed by the Holy Light. She is innocent, kind, and although a little reckless, she is never evil. She will not talk about the death of her friends in such a mocking tone, you This fake is so fake. You might as well pretend to be my teacher, and nothing this guy says will be surprising."

Gray fog's eyes narrowed into a straight line, as if he was very angry, but he soon let out a happy laugh.

"Hahaha, that's good. I saw the right person. You are not only a powerful liar, but also a wise man who can see through lies. Azus is right, as long as you wait patiently, I will come back again, and you are the one I want The person you’re looking for.”

Amber Xiu waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense like this to yourself. I don't know who you are yet, and I don't know what you want to do. Don't sound like I've promised to work for you."

Amber Xiu retorted like this, but he was very nervous in his heart.

Because this mist mentioned Azuth, the master of magic and the subordinate god of the goddess of magic Mystra. Mystra, the goddess of magic, usually only responds to those talented spellcasters. Even low-level mages like Amber Xiu have never heard Mystra's whispers even in legends.

But Azuth is much more generous, so many spellcasters such as mages and wizards will turn to believe in this master of magic after discovering that they are not qualified to be favored by the goddess of magic.

Although Azuth's divine power is weak, behind him is Mystra and Mystra's ally, Ogma, the Lord of Knowledge. Together, these two are equivalent to controlling all the knowledge and wisdom in the world, so Azuth Zusi's background is profound, and ordinary gods are not qualified to call him by his name, let alone mortals.

What's the origin of this fog? Dare to call Azuth by his name, it sounds like he has a good relationship with him, maybe he is also a god.

Amberxiu began to recall the information he had read about gods, gods in the form of mist, but after thinking for a long time, none of them matched up.

Is this smoke trying to trick people out of Azuth?

The mist made a piercing scream and said very excitedly: "Don't doubt it anymore. The fact that I can transform into someone you are familiar with means that I can sense your thoughts. If you want to know who I am, I can tell you directly. , but you must promise me to become my divine choice and avenge me!"

"revenge?"

This seemed to be a keyword, which made Amberxiu think of a name, and asked hesitantly: "Are you...Ms. Misty?"

Gray fog trembled, his voice became calmer, and he said to Amber Xiu: "You guessed it, there are still people who can remember my name."

Layla, the Lady of Mists, also known as the Mother of Illusions, the Lady of Deceit, was the former god of liars and illusionists, blessing all deceivers in the world. Even if many people do not believe in the Lady of the Mist, they will pray to this deity when they make a major decision or encounter a turning point in their lives, hoping that she will not come out to cause trouble.

Because of the special nature of the priesthood of Fraud, Lady Mist has very few followers, and there is not even a decent church. Because liars don’t dare to let others know that they are liars. If they gather together to believe in Lady Mist, wouldn’t they tell others that they are liars?

Although there are few believers and Lady Mist's divine power is very weak, she doesn't mind. Laila doesn't like to fight, and only occasionally does harmless pranks on mortals. She belongs to the goddess of the chaotic neutral camp.

Perhaps because it was not extreme enough, Laila was eventually deceived by her friends and died at the hands of Cyric, the prince of lies, and even her priesthood was taken away.

"According to records, you should have died. Even if you have not died...Ms. Mist never tells the truth. And where did you get this extremely evil smell?"

Affected by the priesthood, Ms. Mist will not tell any truth. Even when she does not want to lie, she can only tell outrageous lies to express her meaning, which sounds like sarcasm.

If she is really the Misty Lady, wouldn't everything she just said be lies? If she's not... then there's nothing to say, she's just a complete liar.

Gray Mist trembled, and then made a sharp voice: "Yes, I never told the truth until Cyric's sword pierced my body and deprived me of my priesthood. I am no longer a god, I I am just a broken soul. There is no limit to truth or lies for me. It was Azuth who helped me and let me sleep in this land, waiting for the opportunity to revive. As for the evil you mentioned, then It was the curse left to me by Cyric, and there is no god more vicious than Cyric in this world.”

This reason sounded reasonable, but Amberxiu didn't completely believe it, and asked: "A chance of recovery? Do you want to regain your priesthood?"

"Yes, I will make Cyric and Musk pay the price!"

Her voice was full of resentment, but Amber Xiu remained unmoved. A fallen god had only a little bit of consciousness and memory left. What's the use? Wanting to take revenge on the gods was simply delusional. Besides, Cyric, the Prince of Lies, is a powerful god, a god of the same level as the Lord of the Morning.

"Ms. Mist, I deeply sympathize with your situation, but I can't do anything about revenge. I'm just a lich, and I'm not qualified to declare war on the Prince of Lies. Isn't the Lord of Mage a follower of the Goddess of Magic? You ask him for help. , wouldn’t it be easier to let the goddess of magic help you take revenge?” Not to mention Amber Xiu, his teacher, the God of Alchemy, would have died.

Laila retorted: "The goddess of magic will not participate in such grudges. You should know her teachings very well. Moreover, you underestimate yourself. You should have seen many gods recently, right? Have they all extended an olive branch to you?"

Amber Xiu wanted to say that the people who offered him olive branches were all crooked goddesses, and none of them were reliable.

But this is indeed a sign. It looks like something big is about to happen. These corner gods are beginning to desperately look for gods to choose. I believe that those powerful gods have also taken action. Among these nine kingdoms, countless geniuses are about to stand out and begin to write their own legendary stories with the blessing of the gods.

"Your destiny is very strange, I can feel it. You can definitely help me if you are willing." Laila said very seriously.

Amberxiu smiled bitterly and said: "Ms. Misty, your previous priesthood has nothing to do with destiny. This lie is too perfunctory and has no credibility at all."

Laila continued: "Haha, fate is just a lie that cannot be falsified. Aren't you trying to deceive fate? Otherwise, why would you come to this forest to look for help from dreams? The essence of dreams is actually the same Lies and deception."

Amberxiu impatiently stretched out his finger and shook it, and said to Laila: "My lady goddess, you seem to be too weak to discern what I really want to say. I mean, I What do I want to do for you? And what benefits will I get?

"If you want to talk about cooperation, show some sincerity. If the benefits are enough, I won't be able to risk my life to fight with a powerful god."
